You're weird, in tears, too near and too far away,
He said, saw red, went home stayed in bed all day,
Your t'shirt, dish dirt,
Always love the one you hurt

It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops shouting out,
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out

You sleep, too deep, one week is another world
Big mouth, big mouth, drop out, drop out
You get what you deserve
You're strange, insane, one thing you can never change

It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops shouting out,
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out

General CommentI think this song is, first of all, a song with a focus on MUSIC and a bright inspiring atmosphere, not on lyrics (which is GOOD IMO, music's primary element have to be MUSIC ITSELF! lyrics are secondary, they don't even have to exist. Does anybody agree with me on this?)
At least it used to be like that back then when people made music out of inspiration and love for music, not out of the desire to get famous, get loads of money, have 15 same cars just for the darn of it(while people around them are starving to death), whores around those cars, drugs and overall disgusting, snobbish, debaucherous life...

Hence I don't think there is any SPECIFIC meaning to this song, I think its simply made to be inspiring and inspire people whenever they are READY TO GO anywhere, or ready to do anything, like preparing for a trip, some sports activity, contest, whatever.

And at the end of the day I really think that music is all about that. Happy and energetic songs should simply awake something in you, inspire and motivate you...making you simply happy and READY TO GO! :)

General CommentThis song completly reminds me of my childhood years and I'm not sure why. I guess its sort of a good song for when your about to end something and start something new which is why I kind of associate it both with my primary school finish as it was out around then and also for my high school finish because.

General CommentLove this song. Very Garbage. Very simplistic, (some would say repetitive...who are we kidding, it is, but what it's repeating is so damn good lol) and just plain kicks ass. Tends to pop up occasionally, think I saw it in a few commercials and trailers for movies, but never got much recognition. All-around great song.

General CommentI think Republica and Elastica are like the same thing.. hmm.
But obviously Elastica are better.. and made loads more songs.. like 3 times as many.. and both Republica and Elastica sing this song.
And this song is incredibly catchyyyy!
It has such a strong rhythm!!..
Or am i the only one that feels the beat in this song..?
Well anyhoo, GREAT song!
